Abstract--In this paper a new method to estimate the mutual inductance and load resistance in a series-series compensated wireless power transfer system is presented. Reasonably accurate estimations can be obtained from measurements of the input voltage and current obtained at one operating frequency only. The proposal can be used to dynamically monitor both the coupling relationship between the transmitter and receiver coils and the load conditions without any direct measurement on the receiver side. It can also be used as a simple method to measure the mutual inductance of any pair of coupled coils. A novel impedance spectrum analysis method is further presented to show that series-series compensation has special characteristics in its input impedance spectrum. Experimental results with acceptable tolerance are included to verify the proposed method.
